(五) One of the greatest American novels is The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. At the time of its first publishing, the storywas to be read by adults because that was who was in the Salinger’s mind when he wrote it. However, in the modern day, mostteenagers that live in the USA are the ones that have to read it when they are in school. A lot of teachers didn’t like the book whenit first came out in 1951. There were many reviews that said it was not good for teenagers because some parts in it were mean andevil. That lead it to getting a bad name, and one teacher that taught the book even got fired.Holden Caulfield, the main character in the novel, had a lot of problems. He not only used bad words, but also didn’t careabout school. What’s more, he did many things that were bad and stupid and even ran away from home. People back then werescared of students following his example. They didn’t understand that the book was just a story about growing up and howteenagers often felt alone, angry, and afraid. Today, The Catcher in the Rye is praised by both teachers and students. novels 小說 publishing 出版 adult 成年人 review 評論 evil 邪惡的 fire 解雇 main character 主角 praise 稱讚
